Original Broadway Cast of Caroline, or Change
Moon Trio
[MOON]
Caroline Thibodeaux
[CAROLINE]
I'm wearing white hose
My knees ain't on display
I wears a white dress
They like they maids that way
Don't want 'em dressed for play
[DOTTY]
Once you was quick
[CAROLINE]
I put all that away
[DOTTY]
And once you was bright
[CAROLINE]
That's all I got to say
[DOTTY]
Now it seem you come to some confusion
[CAROLINE]
You wait forever
[DOTTY]
You losin' courage
[CAROLINE]
For that damn bus to come
[DOTTY]
You losin' light
Lost your old shine
[CAROLINE]
My kids should be in bed
[DOTTY]
Lost Caroline
[CAROLINE]
I'm waiting here instead
[MOON, CAROLINE, DOTTY]
Moon change
Moon change
Glowing bright
Light up the night
Make your dress of spotless white (Moon gone change and change again)
Turn to purple, turn to gleam (Before that damn bus take me home?)
Cool and dry (Everyone's changing their tune)
Free and high (Come on, I got to get home)
Miles free from basement steam (Like the frogs, and the world, and the moon)
Change come fast (It's been a rough day, I put all that away)
And change come slow (And the sky go from cloudy to clear)
But change come, (Times change, Caroline, even here)
Caroline Thibodeaux (Nothing ever changes underground in Louisiana)
